Runway Upgrade Delayed By Paperwork At Calhoun County Airport
County Judge Willis Jetton says two more months of government paperwork are needed before resurfacing of the Calhoun County Airport runway and taxiways can start. The plan, backed by Forrest and Cotton Inc, funds the project at 420000 with 75 percent federal, 12.5 percent state, and 12.5 percent county support. FAA and TAC applications are moving slowly, and recent incidents with a mail plane highlight the runway’s inadequacy.
